out in the open

Today is the day we've been waiting for. The window has arrived, so the work can begin on our kitchen. In preparation, I've removed everything from our kitchen, dining space + living room...and moved it elsewhere in the house. A makeshift kitchen has been set up in a corner of a bedroom.

I have been eagerly anticipating getting to see all of our kitchen items in one place. It is not often that we get to see everything housed in the cabinets + drawers out in the open. 

I've moved enough times to have seen the spectacle of boxes piled high + marked "kitchen" waiting to find new places to belong in a new space. I've also seen tiny kitchens with (apparently) adequate space to house a family's kitchen items.

Less feels like freedom to me, so I love to experience + know that not much is needed to eat beautiful, nourishing meals. We experience this on some level when we camp, but living out of the trunk of our car offers less than ideal circumstances. I would love for the kitchen we end up with to prove a bit more ideal.  :)

Now that all of our food-related items are out in the open, I can see everything that will need a place in our kitchen (not including the fridge, stove + seating)...and it's pretty reassuring.

Alright, commence new adventure!

Love,
Jane
